Welcome to the
Duke of Somerset

What’s the best thing about the Duke of Somerset? The friendly faces waiting to welcome you and take care of you? How about the fantastic selection of local and imported wines and beer? Our deliciously modern take on pub fare classics? Our amazing streetside patio? Or maybe it’s just that we think your pub experience with us should be nothing short of perfect every time.

Why you'll love the Duke of Somerset

The Duke of Somerset is located on Bay Street, surrounded by Yonge Dundas Square, Ryerson University, Ontario Government offices, major tourist shopping and Toronto’s main hospital network. The pub is the perfect neighbourhood stop for a weekday lunch, weekend brunch or cocktails in the evening. The highlight of the Somerset is the portico-style patio, which is heated so the outdoors can be enjoyed for three seasons of the year. The after-work patrons in the neighbourhood make sure the Somerset is always buzzing after 5 p.m.

Our portico-style patio provides pleasant dining for three seasons

Downtown buzz + intimate seating make us perfect for working lunches, kicking back at the end of the day, or just making good times happen

We're in the heart of the city, in Toronto's Discovery District, minutes from the Toronto Eaton Centre, College Park, MaRS, Ryerson, City Hall, University Avenue, and Toronto's University Health Network

At the Duke Pubs, we pride ourselves on using fresh, top quality ingredients. And that goes for our beer too.

We offer an ever-evolving variety of draught beer, guaranteed fresh and clean so it’s the best beer you can find in the city. Our lines are cleaned at least once every four weeks, and every Duke Pub is audited once a month to ensure our beer is stored, poured and served properly. Keg rotation, freshness, fridge cleanliness and temperatures are all checked to ensure we serve the best draught beer we can.

We are also proud to offer Prud’homme Beer Certification (Canada’s leading beer education program) to our servers, bartenders and managers. We believe in creating memorable beer occasions for our guests. If you want to know what we know, visit www.tfkbeer.com

Beau’s Lug-Tread Lagered Ale

Mill Street Hopped and Confused Session Ale

ABV: 4.7%

IBU: 25

This beer is really hoppy but not bitter. It is an ale and a lager. It is juicy, herbal, floral, smooth, crisp and doesn’t taste like anything else. It is a sessionable version of a non-sessionable style. Hopped? Confused? Once you try it, you’ll get it. It is deliciously straight-forward.

Mill Street West Coast Style IPA

ABV: 6.6%

IBU: 87

Mill Street’s flagship IPA, it’s brewed with an intense hoppiness balanced by the fruitiness of the hops and yeast.

Nickel Brook Naughty Neighbour

ABV: 4.9%

IBU: 38

Huge citrus and pine aroma greets the nose and continues on the palate, leaving a remarkably easy-drinking beer with a crisp, dry finish.

Lost Craft Revivale Lagered Ale

ABV: 4.8%

IBU: 18

All natural lagered ale, small batch brewed in Toronto inspired by a specialty beer style from Cologne, Germany.
